When is microsoft going to make a OS only on 64-bit computing not 32-bit i am

waiting for that to happening, Microsoft need to stop making 32-bit and start

on nexts gen-computing 64-bit and they to give the Companys the new software

to start working on 64-bit software projects when is microsoft going to do

this. everybody is tire of 32-bit windows and want the new 64-bit windows we

can not wait

Re: When is 64-bit OS going to be the only windows

 

Windows Server 2008 will be the last server with a 32-bit version. MS has

not decided if Vista will be the last client with a 32-bit version.

Probably not, though, considering the hundreds of millions of 32-bit

machines out there now.

 

Why does MS need to stop making 32-bit? What's wrong with it? MS is

supporting 64-bit sufficiently that they don't need to stop supporting

32-bit in 64-bit's favor. It is not either/or. Anyway, it is the

third-party software folks who need to increase their support for 64-bit,

not MS.

Re: When is 64-bit OS going to be the only windows

 

MS need start supporting 64-bit OS third-party software need to support for

64-bit i saw bill gates keynotes about 64-bit OS it looks more better then

32-bit OS i also use 64-bit OS its more faster then 32-bit and its more safer

then 64-bit OS all the Virus are in 32-bit that could be why mac OS X have no

virus, MS need to start sharing there Final Version of the OS code to

third-party because they can start develop more better software for the new

64-bit OS, When MS said something they don't always do it. i am happy for

Window Server 2008 is the last 32-bit version now people can be safer. I also

no more and more people have 64-bit intel Processor or AMD Processor.

Re: When is 64-bit OS going to be the only windows

 

32-bit software runs natively under 64-bit Windows, including viruses. OS X

doesn't have as many viruses because nobody cares about OS X. It has too

small a market share to be any fun attacking it. All the action is in the

Windows world.

 

MS isn't going to share any code with third-party manufacturers. It's code

is proprietary.

 

The makers of third party software are responsible for supporting 64-bits.

Gripe at them, not MS. MS is not some government agency that goes around

telling people what they have to do. The marketplace will take of that in

good time.

32-bit runs under 64-bit windows that a lie 32-bit software is Incomplete

with windows 64-bit and windows 64 is the future of windows kid for being a

That is not the problem, the problem is the other guys. It seems like

everyone just ignores 64bit. The software of today is for 32 bit OS so why

waste money and buy Windows XP 64 or Vista 64 bit if other vendors don't

support them? Besides, computer magazines claim that Vista is slower than

XP. Go figure.

Re: When is 64-bit OS going to be the only windows

 

Nonsense. There isn't even a 64-bit version of Office and it runs just fine

on my Vista Ultimate x64 box. The 64-bit processors contain all the

standard instructions for running x86 software. That's why you see "86_64"

describing the Intel Core processors. That's also why the newer x64

instruction set is called "extensions."

 

In any case, if 32-bit software couldn't run there would be no reason to

have the WOW64 layer or to have the Programs Files(x86) folder in x64

Windows.

 

I don't want to resort to suggesting that you could drive at your IQ without

risking getting a ticket, but you do need to better inform yourself on

what's up these days with running software on the new operating systems.

All of you download 64-bit windows XP and see the speed of 64-bit and

performance of 64-bite use it for one day and come back here wote the good

and bad things about windows XP 64-bit ok and you will see the power of a

real OS and a Normal OS 32-bit system, The future of all OS is 64-bit and

Re: When is 64-bit OS going to be the only windows

 

I think that it would be more important to improve Windows for the future

many multi core cpu's that will be coming out. Also hybrid cpu's that

include gpu cores or other types of cores besides general purpose cpu cores.

Also what about 128 bit? Wouldn't there be benefits to have 128 bit

functionality inside of a cpu? I don't mean about the amount of memory that

can be accessed with 128 bit addressing, but about math type computing.

Re: When is 64-bit OS going to be the only windows

 

I think you are confusing drivers with applications. drivers must be 64 bit

on the 64 bit o/s, applications can be 32 bit or 64 bit.

Re: When is 64-bit OS going to be the only windows

 

I have a Commodore 64 sitting beside me.

As I pick it up I see that one of the keys on the keyboard has broken.

Apparently my Sony Betamax fell over onto my commodore 64 computer and broke

it.

I have got to put these valuable antiques away into a vault for safe

keeping.

Re: When is 64-bit OS going to be the only windows

 

It's great that you are so passionate about computing and its future. You

might want to have a look at the difference between the same generation of

Intel and Motorola processors. It is interesting how their respective choice

of memory architecture has influenced the design of the CPU and the

influence that has had on OS design. (early MS and Apple/Mac OSs)

 

Also of interest is a comparison of the assembly language code needed to

multiply floating point numerals on each processor. It is also interesting

to compare the amount of code with the same processor using 8,16,32 bits

respectively. It is also interesting to note the difference in code

complexity when a seemingly simple question must be answered: is x=y? (That

translates, in machine terms, to: is the content of one given stack,

register, or memory location the same as the content in another given stack,

register, or memory location?)

 

How I ramble on. Dude, I hope your interest continues!

Re: When is 64-bit OS going to be the only windows

 

Hi, Gary.

 

Wow! A 64-bit Commodore! When was that built - about 1980?

 

Oh. Not 64-bit. But 64 KILObytes of RAM? Let's see now, I just doubled

the RAM in my 64-bit computer to 4 GIGAbytes of PC-6400. How's that for

progress! ;<)

 

My guess is that "shadow" was not yet born when that Commodore 64 was built.

;^}

 

By the way, did you see the January 2008 issue of PC World magazine? On

page 81 is a small report on the new Commodore GX gaming machine. They

looked at the $3,000 model. ;<)

Re: When is 64-bit OS going to be the only windows

 

Is there away MS can find to change the code because windows can Enable

64-bit to got a performance boost on a 32-bit OS if people have a 64-bit

Processor is it possible

Re: When is 64-bit OS going to be the only windows

 

I was on the MSX bandwagon.

MSX standed for "Microsoft Extended"

A wild experiment between MS and the japanese industry that produced what I

consider the best 8 bit computers of their age.

They even had graphic acceleration before the PC did.

Sadly the marked decided otherwise.

I loved my BBC model B. It was so modern, you could add a 360kB (later

720kB) floppy drive :-)) Decent keyboard and all. And I used to be able to

program it with 6502-assembler, and do home-automation with it. Ahhh the

fun :-D

Re: When is 64-bit OS going to be the only windows

 

To answer such a question fully, you might want to have a look at the topic

of emulation-writing code that lets the code written for one set of hardware

run on another.

 

The short answer is that it is possible but not simple. In effect, you could

set up a system that would install on either a 32 or 64 bit system. It would

be possible to distribute a 64 bit system only and install an emulator

package so the 32 bit processor would run the emulator which the OS would

use as if, together they were a physical 64 bit processor. Performance would

suffer somewhat. In the interests of optimizing the system for best

performance, MS (and various distributions of Linux) have chosen to

distribute specific systems for each on separate media or by separate

download packages.

 

You might be interested in looking into the MS WOW system found in various

MS OSs.

No. The OS source code has to be compiled with the 64-bit target flag set

in order to create a 64-bit system.
